still sick, but now it feels more like a normal cold.

that company, jcn, that I was having a proBleM with, still remains a problem, and when the powers that administer the contract with them were asked if they are aware of all the problems, they said yes, and they are looking into what to do about it (unfortunately, it's a 3-year contract). However, in the letter that went to the high-muckety-mucks around here, it is clearly stated that "It is important to note that the usage of [the contract] by ... departments is not mandatory."

That is, of course, unless you're under the administration which wrote the contract.

My 20 desktop computers may not arrive for another 4 weeks, making a grand total of 6 weeks since the order date, while the rack rails for the latest server order are backordered, and the server rack may arrive next week with the server to follow.

The other thorn in my side is another vendor, chosen without input from IT, which must be interfaced with, by Sept 1. Hello, dumbasses, things dont just work because salespeople put on a good show! You never even asked if it could be done! You just assumed! Worst display of mismanagement EVER. Conveniently, the responsible party is on vacation halfway around the world for the next month.
